After a day of grilling and drinking some choice beverages, there’s nothing like relaxing under a brightly-colored night sky. Don’t you love that we choose to celebrate our country with tiny colorful explosions?

Most fireworks shows are completely free events and can be watched from anywhere. It’s a fun activity for the whole family that makes for some good photos and even better memories.
